Music isn’t just a sound, it’s an escape. Julian Bustamante shared how music is a big part of his everyday life and how he can use it to escape problems and find peace.

Music helps people feel good, feel free, and feel relaxed. It can help people escape rough situations like losing a loved one. One musician who helps Julian feel at peace is Frank Ocean.

“His voice is glorious and just chill,” Julian said.

Music for people, no matter the genre, can flip a switch that makes you happy. Certain songs trigger certain feelings in people more than others, in this case, the song Pyramids gives Julian a good vibe. 

“It changes the vibe halfway through and gets better,” Julian said.

When you think about the type of music you like or the artist you like, it usually stems from the people around you. Most of the time, people like the same type of music that your family likes, or that their friends like.

“My dad put me on Mac Miller and Drake. He used to put me asleep to Drake,” Julian said. “I found Frank Ocean from my friends”.

There are so many benefits to listening to music Music can improve mood, reduce pain, improve workouts, Boost creativity, Improve focus, and help you feel good about yourself.

“Music makes me feel like I’m him, like I’m nonchalant, and it helps me feel chill,” Julian said

Listening to music when going through the day can help improve your mood and boost self-esteem. People typically listen to music to pass the time and use it as a background stimulant while working or doing chores.

“During school, work, or when I’m walking around,” Julian said.

Although everyone likes music not everyone likes the same type of music. There are so many different types of music like rap, rock, religion, country, R&B, and much more.
